Sun Tzu's Art Of War is one of my favorite books. I've read it many times, and its principles can still be applied in the 21st century, even in fields other than military strategy.  

As cyber-warfare has a lot in common with more traditional armed conflicts, I wondered how we could adapt this ancient writing to our modern cyber-world.  

So I mixed the ancient with the modern, even in the writing, assisted by Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft's artificial intelligence, to imagine how to adapt the strategies written by Sun Tzu for a pentest team, while keeping the original writing style. Here's the result of our collaboration. 

Happy reading!
